Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Watch a terrible story. Sgt. Reyka, thank you for your service. Neither you, nor your sacrifice, will ever be forgotten.

Watch over your family as they begin this long, dark jouney without you. Watch over your brothers and sisters in uniform was well.

Rest in peace.

I am certain that he served his department with honor. This officer down page will be posted at the Genesee County Sheriff's Office so that our deputies may also reflect on his sacrifice.

I can hardly believe we're doing this again and I can't believe you are gone. I ran into "Truck" at the Command Post and we looked at each other for a moment and then he said "You don't have to say anything." Susan and I have spent a lot of time reflecting and she mentioned how you had been Matt's Cub Scout Leader at All Saints, then began to cry. You are not the first friend I've lost to this job and unfortunately I am sure as time goes by you will not be the last. I pray for your soul and I pray for your family that they may find strength through prayer and support of those around them. I pray you continue to assist the Holy Trinity to continue to watch over us and keep us safe.
Lord, Please watch over us and keep us safe. Help us to be fair and be the best we can be. Watch over those that we love and those who love us. In Jesus' name I pray...Amen

Policeman's 23rd Psalm


The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done...,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun.

Sgt. Reyka, we never had the pleasure of meeting, but from what I have read here so far, God needed another good cop to guard the gates of heaven. God speed, my brother. Keep watch over the rest of us.

To the family, friends, and fellow "brothers and sisters" of the Broward County Sheriff's Office, my family and I pray for peace for all of you. Please know you have people as far away as Wisconsin sending you thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I also pray that the coward who is responsible for this be brought to justice.
